Sonica Instruments SHAKUHACHI KONTAKT

Shakuhachi, the third release in the Virtuoso Japanese Series, is now available as a software instrument in Kontakt format.
Singing sonorous intonation, deep yet delicate breathing, and a Japanese sound aesthetic spilling into the periphery: The shakuhachi – an instrument symbolic of Japan – finally joins the Virtuoso Japanese Series family.

Main Features:

– A hybrid combination of the shakuhachi (1.8 shakuhachi) and the 2.3 shakuhachi provides a wider register, including lower tones, and more tone color variations
